It was a tumultuous time for the unofficial ambassadors of PC gaming: in October it was announced that Henry Cavill would be returning to the role of Superman, and in November it was learned that he was stepping down as Geralt of The Witcher. It was eventually revealed that he would not be playing Superman, and that his next film would be a reboot focusing on a younger version of Superman.

All of this rather left Cavil unresolved. Will he have time to finish portraying the legions of Adeptus Custodes, according to The Hollywood Reporter (opens in new tab), Cavill may have found another dream role in a series based on "Warhammer 40,000."

This would please Rahul Kohli, the actor and gamer who has appeared in iZombie and Supergirl, who tweeted shortly before the news broke, "Hey Henry, fuck you, let's make a Warhammer movie/limited series" (new (open in tab).

Cavill will "star and executive produce," The Hollywood Reporter reported, also noting that the series is being "set up" by Amazon." Amazon is in final negotiations for the rights to the game, which will be produced by Games Workshop, after months of negotiations, having defeated a rival company that is also seeking the rights."

Of course, whatever deal is being discussed could fall through, and there are plenty of announcements regarding big-name TV shows that never materialize: in 2019, a film adaptation of the Warhammer 40,000 novels starring the Eisenhorn Inquisitor was announced and directed by Frank Spotnitz's Big Light Productions. It has been several years since we heard anything about it, but if it is still in production, it would certainly be a fitting role for Cavill.
